267 Slinky, and Silly String - yay, still Made in U.S.A.

Who can forget Wham-O Silly String: youtu.be/RVrxddbiow4, and of course the classic Slinky song: youtu.be/1hayCTb3PNk The Slinky was a somewhat accidental toy invention by naval engineer Richard James in the early-mid 1940's.The Slinky dog first appeared in the early 1950's. It was only when the dog had "manufacturing issues" during it's Toy Story revival in the mid-90's, that it's plastic parts were outsourced to China. Hopefully they didn't apply any of that good ole' Chinese lead-based paint to them!
